-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-11464 2013-06-22 00:47:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ocaml-zarith Product : Fedora 19 Version : 1.2.1 Release : 1.fc19 URL : http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/zarith Summary : OCaml interface to GMP Description : This library implements arithmetic and logical operations over arbitrary-precision integers. The module is simply named "Z". Its interface is similar to that of the Int32, Int64 and Nativeint modules from the OCaml standard library, with some additional functions. See the file z.mlip for documentation. The implementation uses GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision arithmetic library) to compute over big integers. However, small integers are represented as unboxed Caml integers, to save space and improve performance. Big integers are allocated in the Caml heap, bypassing GMP's memory management and achieving better GC behavior than e.g. the MLGMP library. Computations on small integers use a special, faster path (coded in assembly for some platforms and functions) eschewing calls to GMP, while computations on large integers use the low-level MPN functions from GMP. Arbitrary-precision integers can be compared correctly using OCaml's polymorphic comparison operators (=, <, >, etc.). Additional features include: - a module Q for rationals, built on top of Z (see q.mli) - a compatibility layer Big_int_Z that implements the same API as Big_int, but uses Z internally -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The update of ocaml-zarith fixes some minor installation bugs that led to missing files in the -devel package. End users should not see any difference from the previous build. The update of frama-c adds some C library files that were missing in the previous release. All other builds are simple rebuilds due to these two. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jun 21 2013 Jerry James <[email protected]> - 1.2.1-1 - New upstream release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update ocaml-zarith' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ package-announce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-announce
